I guess it just depends on what works for you!
My skin is very dry and ProActiv irritated it pretty bad. I've tried a bunch of different things and then finally went to a GOOD dermatologist - note: I had already been to a few who basically all told me to use one of the reigning treatments like ProActiv, Dermafina (is that what it's called?) or whatever - who did a series of glycolic peels and laser treatments. At home, I use prescription ointment and a special mask. My skin was never that bad, I just had a bit of adult acne that would get scary right before my period.
